Employee Leaves Company Because Management Gave Him a Lousy Raise and Bonus, Resulting in a $300k Loss in Business
Revenge is always sweet.
We have all had our share of bad jobs and awful managers, and we have all dreamed about getting even. However, some of us did more than just dream – they actually sought revenge for all the hardships they had to endure.
Long hours, unpaid work, and a lack of opportunities for advancement in the company… the reasons are plentiful, as are the methods of revenge.
One person recently shared how he got revenge on his former manager and company. Although he was doing an outstanding job (as management acknowledged), they assigned him even more work along with a ridiculous raise and bonus. He left the company, which resulted in the loss of a $300k-per-year client.
u/TheflyingLagNot reading the contract is the most common rookie mistake. They are so happy about landing a job that they overlook the technicalities.
u/TheflyingLagFortunately, the OP stepped into the team manager role and performed exceptionally well right from the start.
u/TheflyingLag
It’s clear that the OP had every reason to be annoyed by the manager’s attitude. He didn’t receive any recognition for his efforts and was given even more accounts and teams to manage.
u/TheflyingLag
It’s unfortunate that everyone tried to find something wrong with the OP, but fortunately, there was nothing. All they did was provoke him to start plotting against them.
u/TheflyingLag
Obviously, the managers weren’t expecting anyone to quit during this busiest part of their work year.
u/TheflyingLag
The OP is not playing around!
u/TheflyingLag
It’s imperative to know your local labor regulations. The OP did his homework.
u/TheflyingLag
This time, the contract was thoroughly analyzed.
u/TheflyingLag
Blackmail or offer?

Complete success.
